Playing keep away
Junior defender Laura Repp patrolled the field all season long, keeping opposing offenses in check. Coming
off a Defensive Player of the Year award, Repp's play
was crucial in getting a young team back on track.

Veteran leadership
Junior midfielder Kara Bullinger led the team on and off
the field. Bullinger's experience was one of the main
reasons the Lady Cougars were able to make it to the
C-USA tournament.

First to the ball
Junior defender Juli Murphy was an anchoring presence on the defensive side of the soccer team.

from teammates.
"She's got a lot of composure,"
team captain Kara Bullinger said.
"She's so consistent. When she has
a chance to score, more than likely
she's going to be on target and go
in. She's brought a lot of consistency up top (along with forwards
Lindsay Beiriger and Kristen
Hogan)."
Aubuchon, who scored the first
goal of the season for UH, adjusted
to the college game faster than
Maurice Green running the 100
meters.
"Honestly, I thought it would have
taken longer to adjust before I got
comfortable," she said. "I have been
able to get into my groove and my
style of play. Initially, it was really
different from high school and club
soccer. I'm starting to adjust to it
and it's a blast. I feed off the pressure and intensity."
Aubuchon combines the cerebral
aspects of the game with the physical so well that she earned
Conference USA Co-Offensive
Player of the Week honors.
"She reads the game so well,"
Solberg said. "She's been around
the game so long and she's had
great coaches along the way. They
have helped her see the game and
she knows where people and the
ball are supposed to go. She has the
full game right now and we're just
looking to help her keep improving."
